Khalil’s detention means we are a hop, skip & jump away from political persecutions. It’s a steep, slippery slope from here to “speak out against Trump & go to jail.” Being different, unpopular, or “other” will get you removed from your home in this new world. https://joycevance.substack.com/p/first-they-came-for?r=5n3e

If this is shocking to you, you been willfully avoiding the obvious.

Remember -
US Visa/green card holders are protected by laws
Examples:
Immigration/Nationality Act (rights to live/work in the country, protections against discrimination/unlawful removal)
They are also entitled to due process under U.S. law (ensures fair treatment in legal proceedings)
If Trump declines to obey courts, then there is no rule of law.
No one is that far from what is going on with Khalil.....
If you haven’t signed this - check it out. I just signed it.
All of Trump’s appointees
are going to say & do
what Trump tell them to say & do.
All of them are sock puppet toadies for Trump’s dictates.
Trump is a Jim Jones/David Koresh/Marshall Applewhite
Cult Type Motif,
A mass-psychosis / Psychic epidemic
Now, by executive order, Handpicked incompetents and doge is how he will do it.

They know they are going to lose some of these court battles.
They also know they can do a lot of damage if they move fast.
What you fear is what they have been working on for the past 6 weeks.

We Are The Targets
You know how the poem goes...
Initially, specific groups are scapegoated, but over time, the regime narrows the boundaries of acceptable identity and behavior.
Even those once aligned with the regime can easily find themselves branded as enemies.
Prisoners are held without trial, tortured, and dehumanized—justified by the fear-driven rhetoric fascists always deploy. Exceptions inevitably become the rule.
They’ve already started.
Biden started arresting peaceful pro-🇵🇸 protesters last year.
Khalil like Rep John Lewis is receiving the same crushing blows to silence him. Only this time they want to deport him for peacefully protesting.
"Critics of President Maduro’s government were arbitrarily detained, forcibly disappeared and tortured with the acquiescence of the judicial system. The gov't acknowledged 455 cases of enforced disappearance reported since 2015, the majority of which had not been resolved."
1. Opposition to expansionist RW Israeli politics is NOT antisemitism.
2. Support of the Palestinians & their right to a homeland is NOT antisemitism
3 Attacking Jewish people & their right to a safe, secure, UN agreed homeland IS antisemitism.
